Treat yourself to a small group rafting and scenic driving tour through the famous Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. The drive is incredibly scenic: glacier-clad mountains and colorful wildflowers line the highway. Arrive at the river in the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, approximately 45 minutes away. Don your life jackets, listen to your guide’s safety talk, board the raft and leave the road and civilization behind. You are immersed in the Alaskan wilderness, floating the silent river channels. This is a scenic float trip (no whitewater) through the home of the largest bald eagle congregation in the world. Your expert guide will push the raft along, explaining the intricate balance of nature that makes this a unique and special place. You do not have to paddle; your hands are free for your camera and binoculars. Keep an eye out for other wildlife besides bald eagles. ……moose, otters, brown and black bear, and even wolves, call this Preserve their home. You will spend approximately one and one half hours floating the river. After rafting, your guide will select a scenic spot to enjoy a picnic lunch on your way back to Haines.

5.00Great excursion while on an Inside Passage Cruise. Guide is really into the flora and fauna of the river, which made it very enjoyable. We were there in May s the Eagle population was low, but we still saw several eagles and other wildlife including a Moose!
Fun raft trip through the reserve

4.00An enjoyable experience all in all- well organized and on time. Love that they provided quality equipment (raft, life vests, boots, and a pair of binoculars for the raft. My only complaint is that the guide was very soft spoken. Thankfully I was seated in front of him so I was able to hear but not sure anyone behind him did.
Excellent Raft Trip

3.00Garrett was an outstanding guide. He was courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and a proficient handler of the raft. We felt safe, enjoyed his comments, and had a great time. He was able to point out Eagles and their nests as we traversed the river. We were provided with comfortable boots, life jackets, and a delicious lunch. We were met and warmly greeted at the dock. We were 100% pleased with this company and would book with them again.
Floating down the river

5.00A great day out almost got sunburnt so warm. Floating down the river is such a beautiful way of seeing the wildlife on the water and in the air.
Plenty of Bald Headed Eagles to see

4.00Easy pick up from our cruise ship. A nice easy experience rafting down the Chilkat River. Anyone can do this activity. We had a lady who was 83 and she did this. Easy in the raft and no it’s not white water rafting. Calm river. The guides are all knowledgeable and fun. Our bus driver and Raft Driver was Davey and Steve both very knowledgeable. We saw lots of bald headed eagles and their nests. We saw them fly and they were huge. Easy to get in and out of the raft. We had lunch at the end Turkey cheese Mayo mustard lettuce sandwich, biscuit and apple. The only thing we found disappointing was the long wait at the toilet stop. It must of been at least 45 minutes as we were waiting for other busses to turn up. Too long of a wait. Overall a good experience

5.00This was a wonderful adventure. Our guide Richard Cook was the best. He was professional, through in the safety presentation, knowledgeable, and personable. We had quite a lot of questions and he addressed every one of them. I will recommend this trip and guide to my friends and family.
Excellent time with our guide Richard

5.00We really enjoyed rafting down the river with our guide Richard. He was very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this rafting experience. The eagles were beautiful as was the general scenery even on a cloudy day! We could have rafted longer!
A peaceful guide down a lazy river

5.00Husband and I did this as a part of our America Cruise LInes excursion. Our driver (so sorry cannot remember his name) was awesome and made sure to give us history and info on the area as we made our journey both to and from the ship. Our rafting guide Russ was fantastic and kept our group of 8 moving along the river and pointing out areas of interest and the bald eagles. Unfortunately it was a warm morning so much of the wildlife was keeping cool in the shade but it never diminished the lazy glide we had going down the river early in the morning. Thanks guys for a fantastic day.
Great tour guide but boring place

3.00The guide is very friendly. The scenic bus ride to the eagle preserve is also very nice as the driver introduced us to the area. Unfortunately, once you get there, I was quite disappointed with the area. The eagle preserve had maybe two eagles. The river is scenic on a beautiful sunny day; however, it was very windy and super cold in early August despite the sun. The whole tour with the bus ride is a 4-4.5 hour experience, but it was quite uneventful and underwhelming. I can’t imagine coming here on an overcast or rainy day. This is a good excursion consider Haines is a very quiet and boring town, but this area is nothing special for someone who’s been to Lake Tahoe and American river water rafting.
